AT 2.30pm on a random Thursday afternoon, Cafe Bistrot David in Kuala Lumpur’s Taman Tun Dr Ismail is swollen with diners. The eatery is meant to close for a break at 4pm and yet by 3.59pm, people were still there.

No one seems to want to leave and it is clear that chef-owner David Chin has conjured up a little slice of magic with this eatery.
